While everyone was busy outside Yongding Gate, Xiao Chen, the Thirteenth Officer of Dongchang, had already taken a hot bath, put on clean clothes, and sat next to the stove to warm himself up.
"Dong dong dong", there were three slight knocks on the door.
Xiao Chen, who had just picked up the wine pot, couldn't help but frown.
These captains of the Thirteenth Army never knocked on their own doors. Moreover, most people had already gone out to greet them today. Moreover, ordinary people could not enter the courtyard of the Thirteenth Army.
This slight knock on the door seemed to be a test. Who could it be?
"I'm inside, come in." Xiao Chen put down the wine bottle and took a deep drink.
The door was gently pushed open, and a little head poked in through the crack of the door: "Brother!"
"San'er, why are you here?" Looking at the little face that was red from the cold in the crack of the door, Xiao Chen jumped up excitedly.
He walked to the door in two steps and pulled Xiao Yu in: "Come here, let me see if I have grown taller recently."
"I've grown taller." Xiao Yu chuckled, standing next to Xiao Chen, trying hard to push his feet up.
He gestured with the palm of his hand on Xiao Yu's head, and then on his chest. Xiao Chen said, "San'er has really grown taller."
"Yesterday the teacher said, brother, you are coming back today. San'er was so excited that she almost didn't sleep a wink all night. Until just now, I really wanted to come over and see you, so I asked Butler Wang to send me to the door after asking all the way." Standing at Xiao
In front of Chen Chen, Xiao Yu chuckled, as if he was satisfied with his actions.
"Steward Wang came with you? Where are the others? Why didn't you see them?" Xiao Chen was about to open the door and go out to check.
"Butler Wang has left. The person at the door didn't know Butler Wang and only let me in. Butler Wang said he had something to do and left first." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Sigh." Xiao Chen sighed, "I'll ask the captain guarding the door later why he didn't know to inform me. When Butler Wang arrived at the door, he asked him to leave."
Xiao Chen had a good impression of Butler Wang.
He sent San'er to the Thirteen Battles, but was turned away, which somewhat made Xiao Chen feel a little sad.
Looking up at Xiao Chen, Xiao Yu said: "Brother, don't blame the gatekeeper. Butler Wang really has something to do. The teacher's family has just moved to the capital, and there are many things that need to be handled, so he left."
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Xiao Chen reached out and touched his head: "San'er is still so sensible and knows how to excuse others. Come, sit here, and I will bake a sweet potato for you."
He took a wooden stool and asked Xiao Yu to sit in front of the stove. Xiao Chen squatted on the ground, rummaged under the table for a while, and took out two washed white sweet potatoes.
Sitting next to the stove, he poked it with an iron rod a few times and buried the sweet potato in his hand into the ashes under the stove.
"San'er, how many words do you know now?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile, looking at the well-behaved Xiao Yu next to him.
"I don't know, but there are quite a lot anyway." Xiao Yu smiled, picked up the iron rod, and stabbed it randomly in the stove.
"Master Wang will be very busy in the future, and I'm afraid I will have less and less time to teach you how to read. You have to study hard on your own." Xiao Chen said distressedly.
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded, "A few days ago, someone came to tell the teacher that they had set up a school and wanted me to study. The teacher refused."
"School? What school?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, "Do you know who they are?"
Turning to look at Xiao Chen, Xiao Yu thought for a long time and said, "The teacher said that they seem to be from the Ministry of Personnel."
"Then do you want to go?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Yu said seriously: "The teacher said that the reason why they want me to study is to show goodwill to you. He doesn't want me to become a tool for those people to use for gambling. Since the teacher said this matter is not
Well, San'er will never go to their school to study."
Seeing Xiao Yu's serious look, and thinking about what Wang Changlian said to him later today, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
It was like one person could ascend to heaven like a chicken or a dog, and they actually set their sights on Xiao Yu.
I just don't know if my soaring into the sky will really arouse the jealousy of some people and lead to unreasonable disasters.
